BEST SURF SPOTS IN INDONESIA
THE BEST SURF SPOTS IN INDONESIA
Let's see at first the indonesian surf trip of Jamie O'Brien
...and his extra charge for an extra luggage at the airport... :D
Indonesia is the world’s ultimate surfer’s paradise.
With more than 17,000 islands who knows what else is out there!?
The island of Bali alone has more than 40 established surf sites! There are more than 150 surf sites in Indonesia known to the surfing circuit! Woohoo! Thank god for Indonesia!
Having said that…it would be quite impossible to rate the Top 10 Surf Sites in Indonesia. So I asked some help from a couple of friends who has visited most of these sites.

This list is subjective to 26 seasoned surfers surveyed exclusively for BISEAN. Actual visits from 15 January – 10 March 2008. Total surf sites visited: 67.
I personally think the 3 sites in Sumba Island were overlooked.
And they should’ve more Mentawai sites on the Top 10. But hey, this was a survey – nothing I could do with it.
